Both NUFLO turbine meters and Turbines, Inc. turbine flow meters offer reliable solutions for liquid flow measurement, supporting similar line sizes and flow rates. These precision instruments utilize a spinning rotor to accurately measure flow, making them ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and durability across various industrial liquid measurement needs.
Similarities
Both meters come in a variety of end connections such as wafer, threaded, grooved, and flanged, and WECO high pressure. The EZ-IN meter is the equivalent of the Turbines, Inc. WM Series and has similar flow ranges per line size.
Comparing The WM Series to the NUFLO EZ-In flow ranges looks like the below
| Line Size | Turbines, Inc. WM Series Flow Rates (gal/min) | NUFLO EZ-IN Flow Rates (gal/min) |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8″ | 0.3 – 3 | 0.46 – 3 |
| 1/2″ | 0.75 – 7.5 | 0.80 – 7.5 |
| 3/4″ | 2 – 15 | 2 – 15 |
| 7/8″ | 3 – 30 | 3 – 30 |
| 1″ | 5 – 50 | 5 – 50 |
| 1 1/2″ | 15 – 180 | 15 – 180 |
| 2″ | 40 – 400 | 40 – 400 |
| 3″ | 60 – 600 | 80 – 800 |
| 4″ | 120 – 1,200 | 100 – 1,200 |
| 6″ | 250 – 2,500 | 250 – 2,500 |
| 8″ | 350 – 3,500 | 350 – 3,500 |
| 10″ | 550 -5,500 | NOT SPECIFIED |
NUFLO data sheet for the EZ-IN does not specify a flow range for 10″
NUFLO And Turbines, Inc. Flow Meter Operation
Both NUFLO turbine meters and Turbines, Inc. provide turbine flow meters. These meters are manufactured to be used inline in pipe or between 2 flanges. Both meters can be used in the oilfields and used for water or other fluid applications. As shown in the chart above, both the NUFLO turbine meter and our meter have similar flow ranges, with the Turbines, Inc, meter offering a slight edge due to broader flow ranges and large in-stock inventory.
Additional Turbine Meter Accessories
Both NUFLO turbine meters and our meters at Turbines, Inc. can be paired with flow monitors. These electronics can be either meter mounted or used remote. These meters are also able to be paired with pulse amplifiers. Turbines, Inc. offers both analog and digital signal conditioners.
